For Mema's 80th birthday, we took a trip to El Paso and surprised her with lunch at the Olive Garden. She had no idea that we had all gathered to celebrate her birthday, so when she walked in and saw us, she cried. Too sweet. After lunch, we headed back to Mema's house for pictures and cake as well as gifts. The biggest gift was a scrapbook of memories and letters from the entire family. This was also the first time we had been back to see Ken's house after he remodeled it and moved in. He did such a great job!

While Chris, Nicole and the boys were visiting Texas they dropped in with us for a bit. Chris and Cody headed off to go tubing with some friends while Nicole and I hung out with the kids. It was such an awesome visit and sad as well to know that while we have so much fun hanging out they have to return home to Guam...

For July 4th Weekend we headed to San Angelo to spend time with the Family! This was the first time since Jennifer's wedding that we were all together. The kids had so much fun riding the Bevo's, playing with sparklers and playing. They are all growing up so quickly.

During Ceile's wedding weekend, we stayed at a hotel in La Porte. We celebrated MelMel & PaPa's anniversary by getting them a room at the same hotel as us. The day after the wedding, we ate breakfast and headed down to the beach for a bit. Ky had a blast, she loves the beach!

Ceile's wedding was beautiful, sunset on the beach. The ceremony was outside, quaint and small and the dance was inside, crazy and fun. It was great seeing the happy couple but it was sad knowing that the first person I ever babysat was old enough to get married. Yikes!

In June of 2009, we took a weekend trip to see Ceile Clement (Uncle Buffalo's Daughter) get married. The morning before the wedding we went to Kemah and spent time on the Boardwalk. We rode on many of the rides, ate at the Aquarium Cafe and of course had a blast.
